FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 11
High Value SG
Zach LaVine-Minnesta Timberwolves (5,600): The T-Wolves are showing plenty of promise this season and are giving LaVine a ton of time as the season winds down. LaVine played a massive 45 minutes on Monday and bounced back for 36 more the following night. He has at least 20 fantasy points in seven straight games with 28 fantasy points or more in five of those seven. He will get as much playing time tonight as he can handle against the Thunder who he hit up for 35 points the last time these teams met at the end of January. Look for a high-scoring game tonight in Oklahoma City with the Thunder again struggling to defend the young and aggressive LaVine.∗∗∗∗∗
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,100): Caldwell-Pope has posted at least 20 fantasy points in five of his last six games and seven of his last nine. He is getting a ton of playing time for coach Stan Van Gundy and has started to find his offensive rhythm again in the last few games. He had 16 points against the Blazers on Sunday finishing with 29.4 fantasy points and almost matched that exactly with 29.5 fantasy points against here Mavs on Wednesday. KCP is in a good matchup tonight against the Hornets in what I think will be the highest scoring early game, so look for another solid night from Caldwell-Pope. ∗∗∗
J.J. Redick-Los Angeles Clippers (4,800): Redick dropped 22 points for the second straight game on Wednesday against OKC and finished with over 22 fantasy points for the seventh time in his last eight contests. He probably won’t go off against New Yrok tonight since he doesn’t have the non-scoring stats that would be ideal for a monster night, but he is a very solid play who is low-risk since he almost always gets his points while the Clippers are without Blake Griffin. ∗∗∗
Lance Stephenson-Memphis Grizzlies (4,200): Clippers’ cast-off Lance Stephenson is the closest thing the Grizzlies have to a proven point guard, and I think he’ll get a ton of time as the team tries to cope with the loss of Mario Chalmers on top of all the rest of their injuries. The Pelicans are a good matchup to attack, but it’s hard to tell which of the Girzzlies players will be the better cheap plays tonight. Stephenson is one of the ones I like the most despite his disappointing 6.9 fantasy points on Wednesday against Boston. ∗∗
E’Twaun Moore-Chicago Bulls (4,200): Don’t get so caught up in chasing Grizzlies value that you miss a nice option from a team with a little bit more to work with tonight. The Bulls got good news on Jimmy Butler but he’s still just questionable for tonight. Moore has been playing well in his absence putting up 27.7 fantasy points against the Bucks and 34.2 fantasy points against the Spurs in his last two games. He had 20 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 36 minutes against the Spurs last night and will get plenty of time again tonight if Butler is out. With Butler-∗ No Butler-∗∗∗∗
